Federal lawsuit claims supervisors at a General Mills plant engaged in years of racist acts against Black employees.
The Georgia plant where General Mills produces cereal and trail mix is run by a 'Good Ole Boy' network of White men who have spent decades wrongfully demoting and hurling racial slurs at Black workers, eight current and former employees allege in a federal lawsuit filed this week. The class-action suit, filed in the Northern District of Georgia in Atlanta, accused General Mills of violating federal civil rights laws, as well as state and federal racketeering laws.
Senior managers at General Mills never reprimanded the supervisors for their racist behavior, the suit claims. 'HR routinely informs racist White supervisors about the content of complaints against them along with the identity of the Black employees who made the complaint,' the complaint claims. 'This frequently results in retaliation against Black employees.'The Covington plant, which General Mills opened in 1988, makes Chex, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cocoa Puffs and Trix cereals.
